Cook Political cannot know the future. The whole political analysis and prognostication racket is basically a useless endeavor.

Coast Guard should be in DoD. And get Forest Service out of Agriculture and NOAA out of Commerce. Those two belong in Interior, which should be called Environment, Natural Resources, and Indigenous Affairs. Unless BIA goes to HHS, which it should.

Any environment-related bill that Mike Lee sponsors is a very bad bill. Heinrich and Whitehouse are selling out the public lands, wildlife, and everyone who cares about environmental issues.

Wall Street wants it and Dems always try to do what Wall Street wants. Just like Republicans do.

Sorry, I think Dem leadership is weak, lacking in commitment to principle, and more interested in personal wealth and their careers than improving our lives. They are not evil, just lacking in courage and strength.

Here in Colorado one of the moments that showed this was when legislators cozied with lobbyists at a ski resort. And when Dems nominated Polis. Twice.

Trumpers want a dictatorship. And are okay with corruption, graft, American coups, rejection of science, cruelty, murder on the high seas, and unprovoked and unnecessary war. I’m not socializing with people who want that.

Sheldon Whitehouse and Martin Heinrich signed onto a bill that would gravely weaken the Endangered Species Act and the National Environmental Policy Act. This is a craven giveaway to timber companies, mining interests, ranchers, and sundry other exploiters of our natural resources. Tell them "no."

Everyone involved in these actions that amount to a brutal deprivation of basic human rights needs to go to prison. That includes the ICE agents, the government lawyers, and the immigration judge.

Democrats have never confronted the Faux propaganda outlet. When in control of the WH they did not even do anything about its often exclusive dominance in government offices. As usual, they will do little or nothing.

Hank Lacey @hlacey.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
For all practical purposes, he is. The DOJ under Blanche will do nothing. Dems, if they take the WH in 2028, will do zip. Congress won’t impeach or, if it does, convict. Trump v. US gives expansive immunity from criminal liability. And voter attention is limited.

I don't drink iced coffee, but why would anyone care whether someone at a job interview is drinking iced coffee? How is that any different from drinking hot coffee? Or water?

The guy has voted every time he has had the chance for king-like powers of the presidency and to arrogate power to the Court. He disrespects Congress.

I’m surprised that people are paying that much attention to polls. They are unreliable and, in any case, a tool to manipulate voters.

I think what some people miss is that every important institution in the U.S. is corrupted, compromised, or broken. Our politics are a sick joke. We effectively have no real opposition party and we have a prior-dictator. Our society is failing. Fast.

And I don't hear Democrats saying that ICE must be abolished. Or even clearly calling for significant reform. Nor do I detect Democratic commitments to address corruption, try to stop the stupid war against Iran, work to defend U.S. alliances, or reverse the anti-public health moves of the regime.
